Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Make the Tamagoyaki: whisk the eggs with the soy sauce and sugar.

Tip: Sugar helps the egg brown and gives it a distinct Japanese flavor.
2

In a pan with a little oil, cook thin layers of omelet, rolling the previous one up each time (or cook one thick omelet and slice it).

Tip: Layering makes the egg airy.
3

Cut the finished egg into 1/2-inch strips or cubes.

4

Stretch out the pizza dough and spread with tomato sauce.

5

Sprinkle with cheese, arrange the egg strips on top, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

6

Bake in the hot oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese bubbles and the crust is golden. Garnish with fresh scallions before serving.

Tip: High heat cooks the dough quickly, keeping it crispy outside and soft inside.
